SAN FRANCISCO--(EON: Enhanced Online News)--Kobre & Kim announced the addition of Daniel Zaheer to its San Francisco
office, and the continued expansion of its conflict-free intellectual
property litigation team in the Bay Area.

“Daniel’s experience with high stakes intellectual property disputes and
his reputation in the industry make him an invaluable addition to our
San Francisco office”

Mr. Zaheer joins Michael Ng, who helped launch Kobre & Kim’s San
Francisco office in January. The two previously worked together in Kerr
& Wagstaffe’s Intellectual Property group, representing organizations
with substantial IP-related legal matters, such as the Commonwealth
Scientific Research Organisation of Australia (“CSIRO”) which is
credited with one of the most successful projects in recent times to
enforce a single patent, involving recoveries of US $400 million+.

Commenting on his move to Kobre & Kim, Mr. Zaheer said, “I look forward
to joining Mike in the San Francisco office and being a part of the
growth of this practice. San Francisco is a hub for important
intellectual property disputes.”

The firm’s new San Francisco location provides direct access to a
litigation team based in one of the largest technology and financial
markets in the world, adding to the firm’s international resources that
have earned it a reputation as the premier boutique for high-profile,
multijurisdictional disputes and investigations.

“Daniel’s experience with high stakes intellectual property disputes and
his reputation in the industry make him an invaluable addition to our
San Francisco office,” said Kobre & Kim co-founder Michael Kim.

Mr. Zaheer received his Bachelor’s from University of California, Los
Angeles, and his J.D. from Stanford Law School.

With the opening of the San Francisco office, Kobre & Kim’s offering now
includes four offices across the U.S., in addition to locations in Asia,
Europe, and several offshore jurisdictions. Kobre & Kim focuses on
special counsel engagements in complex high-profile disputes and
investigations. This conflict-free profile allows the firm to act in the
world’s leading jurisdictions in complex financial, corporate,
onshore/offshore and insolvency disputes as well as cross-border
government enforcement, regulatory investigations and international
judgment enforcement.
